Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Jiang Qingwu's heart tightened and he looked in the direction of the voice in disbelief. It was actually Yan Xiuchen, and it was Luo Ming who led the way in.

When the servants in the yard saw that it was Yan Xiuchen, they hurriedly knelt on the ground.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu immediately stood up and bowed, "Your Highness."

"How is your injury?" While Yan Xiuchen was speaking, Jiuhan had already pushed him into the pavilion.

"I'm fine, it's just a minor injury. I just happened to have a cold." Jiang Qingwu answered in a nonchalant manner.

He waved his hand to send away the servants in the yard, and motioned to Xing'er who was standing beside him, "Xing'er, serve the tea."

Having said that, Jiang Qingwu sat aside and lowered his voice.

"You came in through the back door, right? How did you learn such sneaky tricks from me?"

Yan Xiuchen's lips curled up slightly, and he frowned and said, "I asked someone to deliver a visiting card to your parents."

As he spoke, Yan Xiuchen's eyes fell on the painting on the table.

"What are you drawing?"

Jiang Qingwu suddenly came to her senses and was about to stop him, but Yan Xiuchen had already taken the painting she had just drawn.

The painting showed the man in black who saved her. Based on her vague memory, Jiang Qingwu drew the man completely.

Masked with black veil and black brocade clothes.

Yan Xiuchen's eyes turned slightly, staring at the portrait for a long time, then raised his eyes to look at Jiang Qingwu, "Is the painting of the person who saved you?"

"Yes, I asked my eldest brother to check it out, but he found nothing."

"This king..."

"Ah?" Jiang Qingwu was startled. Yan Xiuchen paused and changed his words, "This king... is also planning to save you."

Jiang Qingwu said "oh", reached out to take the portrait, and then put it away carefully.

"Whoever this person is, he saved me. I'll have to thank you when we meet again someday."

Yan Xiuchen opened his mouth, his eyes flashing with a hint of disappointment, "How are you going to thank me? With your body?"

Jiang Qingwu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and realized something, "What do you mean by pledge your love to me? You..."

Jiang Qingwu said as he leaned over with a smile, "Are you willing to give it up?"

Yan Xiuchen's eyes dodged, his face darkened, "If I'm willing to give it up, of course I'm willing to give it up."

Jiang Qingwu rolled his eyes, sighed, and stood up, "Okay, then I'll go find him and see if he's willing to marry me."

There was a hint of surprise in Yan Xiuchen's eyes. He staggered and grabbed Jiang Qingwu.

"You are becoming more courageous."

Yan Xiuchen's voice became a little harsher, and then he grabbed the portrait on the table and tore it into several pieces with a "swish".

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Can't you see? You are not allowed to draw him, and you are not allowed to... look for him."

Yan Xiuchen pulled Jiang Qingwu back in a commanding tone and made him sit on the chair.

When did this person become so overbearing and unreasonable?

Jiang Qingwu complained in his heart, pouted, crumpled up the paper at hand, and threw it out angrily.

Seeing this, Yan Xiuchen sneered disapprovingly, "You have received the gift that I sent you."

"A gift? You call that a gift?"

"I thought it was a token of love from you. I was almost scared to death."

Yan Xiuchen frowned, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "I thought... you were used to fighting on the battlefield, so you wouldn't be afraid of this."

"This isn't a battlefield, and... today when you're offering your betrothal gift, shouldn't you give me some jade pendants, scent bags, or love knots?"

Yan Xiuchen was admittedly a little confused. He looked through the items on the gift list one by one and picked out the expensive, rare ones that she wanted.

"I thought... the jade pendant, the scented sachet, the knot of love..."

"It's neither valuable nor rare, and it's definitely not what a general like you would want."

Wan Yue couldn't help but let out a "puff". But the next moment, she saw Yan Xiuchen's cold eyes and immediately bowed in fear, "I admit my guilt."

Jiang Qingwu looked helpless. He leaned towards him, holding his chin with a sly smile on his face.

"Your Highness, you have never been with a girl before."

Her eyes were smiling and sparkling as they wandered across his face, making Yan Xiuchen feel uncomfortable.

Finally, he could no longer hold back and avoided her gaze, calming his mind, "This is... your family. You are so presumptuous, do you think that I can't do anything to you, right?"

Jiang Qingwu was stunned for a moment, looked around, and sat up straight.

Upon seeing this, Yan Xiuchen took off the jade pendant he was wearing from his waist.

The palm-sized jade plaque has dragon patterns carved into the edges, auspicious clouds and the word "emperor" engraved in the middle, and the three words "Regent" engraved on the back.

"Your jade token?" Jiang Qingwu asked, his eyes showing surprise and a little shock.

"This thing can control the princes and nobles, and it can control the officials and common people. Do you want to give it to me?"

"Didn't you just say that you wanted a token of love?"

"I, when did I ever say I wanted a token of love?" Jiang Qingwu couldn't help but stare at the jade token in his hand with a frown.

Yan Xiuchen heard the voice and smiled secretly, "No? Then I will take it back."

Then he reached out to take the jade token. Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu quickly withdrew his hand and said, "You can't take it back if you give it to me. If you take it, you're a robber. If you give it to me, it's mine."

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu suddenly remembered something and silently put away the jade token.

"By the way, did you find the place where the private weapons were made?"

Jiang Qingwu deliberately lowered his voice, and Yan Xiuchen couldn't help but cooperate and lowered his voice, "That person didn't know much, he just said he was outside the city."

"I have secretly sent people there, but I dare not conduct a large-scale search."

Jiang Qingwu nodded thoughtfully and sighed softly, "Yes, if we alert the enemy and Yan Lin takes action, I'm afraid we won't be able to find him anymore."

Seeing that Jiang Qingwu looked troubled, Yan Xiuchen waved his golden bronze fan and changed the subject.

"I heard that the Queen Mother detained you yesterday because..."

Hearing this, Jiang Qingwu suddenly sat up straight and explained, "The Queen Mother said that I dealt with that palace maid yesterday because of Yan Lin, but that was definitely not the case."

"I thought about it, maybe Shen Wanrong set it up and said that on purpose..."

"If you hear anything, don't take it seriously. They just want to drive a wedge between us!"

Yan Xiuchen heard the voice and thought about it, and deliberately asked, "You dealt with that Ah Lu, if it wasn't because of Yan Lin, then why?"

"I...I did it because of myself. Didn't I say it yesterday? She scolded me!"

As she spoke, Jiang Qingwu came over with a wronged look on her face and acted like a spoiled child, "She called me an abandoned woman. What if you heard that and you don't want me anymore?"

Yan Xiuchen's eyes flashed with surprise and astonishment. He sighed softly and looked at her intently, "Are you really...really willing to marry me?"

"Really...really!" Jiang Qingwu nodded firmly.

"My king...what if I become disabled for life and can never recover?" Yan Xiuchen asked softly, slowly moving closer to Jiang Qingwu.

"Then I am willing to do that too. Not to mention that you are just disabled, even if you are lying in bed with only one breath left, I will still marry you!"

These words are like honey.

For Yan Xiuchen, it is undoubtedly the best drug.

But he was very clear-headed and knew that Jiang Qingwu did not truly love him.

But from the moment he decided to marry her regardless of the consequences, he thought of the worst possible outcome.

Whether it was revenge for Yan Lin's flattery or some other plot, he had not forgotten it.

When Yan Xiuchen was in a trance, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard gate.

"Since my sister and His Highness are so in love, the Third Prince and I can rest assured."

Shen Wanrong? !
